Early diagnosis and treatment can make a big difference in outcome.

I agree with the APA (American Psychological Association) disclaimer: "The diagnosis and treatment of psychological disorders requires consultation with a trained professional. The information on this website is for educational purposes only. It should not be used as a substitute for seeking professional treatment for any disorder or problem, and it is an insufficient basis for designing a treatment plan. The treatments described in this website have been shown to be beneficial in scientific studies; however, this is no guarantee that any individual person will benefit from a particular treatment." The services of Surfside Counseling are meant solely for psychotherapeutic and counseling purposes. This service is not meant as a crisis hotline. Should you need such services, there are a couple of options for you, such as calling 911 or go to a hospital ER department where their staff are trained to assist in a psychological emergency.
